Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue, dedicated to recent and current research in the field of Oxide-Based Electronics: Growth and Applications of Oxide Thin Films and Heterostructures. Oxide-based electronic materials, such as thin films and heterostructures provide a wide range of possible applications and offer broad opportunities for scientists to probe into some of the exciting and intriguing phenomena exhibited by oxide systems and oxide interfaces. Oxide electronic materials are important in a wide range of applications including transparent electronics, optoelectronics, magnetoelectronics, photonics, spintronics, thermoelectrics, piezoelectrics, energy harvesting, hydrogen storage, and environmental waste management. Synthesis and fabrication of these materials, as well as processing into particular device structures to suit a specific application is a continuous quest.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to the following:
- Thin-film deposition techniques and technology, e.g., PLD, MOCVD, ion beam sputtering, CVD, e-beam, thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, ALD;
- Functional oxide heterostructures
- Oxide superconductivity
- Transparent conducting oxides
- Transition metal oxide films and heterostructures
- Electrical and optical properties of oxide films
- Interface phenomena in oxide heterostructures
- Oxide-based photovoltaics
- Oxide-based photonics

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
